Is it parents' responsibility to pay for kids' college?

Is it really the responsibility of the parents to pay for their children's college when they grow up? Why or why not?

I would say yes, but only if the parents have good reasons to believe that said path in College would lead to their child's future career prospects being fruitful.

Also, I believe it would be a kid's responsibility to work hard towards their paid for education.

Isn't this expected? I went to College almost for free, but my parents always said they saved up money for me to use for it.

Unless you're working a part time job, there's no way anyone can afford College at only 18-22. When you're that young what kind of money do you expect to have in the bank?

Are you trying to imply that government should foot the bill? If you are then that's bs too

I paid for my own. Worked full time through both my undergraduate and graduate degrees. I come from a poor family. If I wanted better I had to do it myself. So I did.

No. Not at all.

I was expecting most of the poll to be in the No

Where's the individualism everyone?
